All He represents,
All He has to teach;
Is wrapped up in one simple act
Of washing other's feet.

The duty of the lowest slave,
To bow and humbly serve;
He willingly performed to teach
What Christians should observe.

The greatest is the servant
Who empties self of pride;
And so is manifested
The life of Jesus Christ.
